We will not accept vet bills as proof of ownership. A fee of $18.95 US will be charged to change ownership of a pet. You may include your credit card information on the form or send us a check by mail.

The ownership transfer fee is waived only under the following circumstances.

If you adopted from a shelter or rescue and can provide a copy of the adoption contract/agreement in your name

If the previous owner is deceased and you can provide either a death certificate or obituary notice

Shelters or rescues may send ownership transfer requests provided they do so on their letterhead.

Submitting your paperwork may be done by email or mail. The method of submission directly impacts the time it takes to transfer the ownership. On average, complete emailed transfer forms, take about a week to process; mailed forms can take up to one month.
